Currently, I have a 2.1 speaker system for my computer. The speaker volume was significant, but I was not happy with the low volume of the subwoofer. So, I raised the volume of the speakers and the subwoofer also increased in volume, but now my normal speakers are too loud. So, I need to lower the volume of the speakers while keeping the subwoofer volume high. Right now, I put some plastic wrap over the speakers to reduce their noise but I was wondering if there is a better alternative. Also, If covering the speakers will harm them in anyway. Most importantly, if there is a way to keep the subwoofer volume high WITHOUT putting anything on the speakers cause they look kinda weird now. Btw, the subwoofer is at max volume and I've checked around the room and the front corner is the loudest location. Also, please don't tell me to buy anything.
Covering the speakers is a bad idea. You are losing high frequency sound. Facing them away from you would cause the same problem. Covering the speakers also increases the work load of the transducers, but it is probably not a big deal. Sounds like your trying to get big bass out of a cheap 2.1 system. It's not going to happen. You would have to buy a part to reduce the volume on the speakers, and wire it in series with the sub. Not worth it.
You can try to put in a volume reducer on the speaker connection so that you can adjust their volume separately from the subwoofer. Also, if the system is plugged into their respective ports (subwoofer to subwoofer, speakers to speakers) you should be able to mix the sound from your computer. Try opening the volume panel and see what options you have, my integrated sound lets me adjust volume L-R, from speaker to speaker, special sound settings, etc. so yours might too, check it out. Also best answer just sayin
